I have a friend from South Africa who wants to buy a portable DVD player that he will eventually take with him when he moves back. At a couple of shops he went to they said that it would be no problem to use it there, but he wasn’t sure if they really understood his situation.
My friend said that they use the same system as England (all of Europe uses PAL format, no?). Thus I would think that if he gets a DVD player that he can use here it would use NTSC format, & he wouldn’t be able to use it in South Africa…
Can anyone verify that?
What about the regions? Can standalone DVD players (as opposed to computer ones) play DVD’s from any region?
I was just showing my friend the segue web site & did a search for “dvd europe pal” & hit a link that covers everything & more than our question here, so everyone please refer to:
